At an official sod-turning ceremony, Quest chairman Paul
Constantinou, said: "There are more than 14,000 people employed in
roles supported by Melbourne Airport. Combine this with the 30
million people who pass through the airport each year, and there is
a strong need for the quality accommodation that Quest supply. We
make it our business to deliver capacity for growing markets, and
are doing so by expanding our network significantly. In the next 12
months we are planning to open eight new properties. Commencing
construction today here at Melbourne Airport is yet another
milestone in our growth strategy."

Melbourne Airport CEO Chris Woodruff said: "Providing more
accommodation choice for people doing business at the airport, or
are undertaking aviation training in the airport precinct, will
support the future growth of these businesses in our local
region."
